Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a connector terminal which can be easily fitted to or separated from a partner terminal (partner connector) even if the space for fitting operation is limited in the fitting direction. The connector terminal has a terminal inserting portion to which the partner terminal is inserted, and a coupling portion intercoupling and electrically interconnecting the inserting portion and a wire connection portion of a coated wire. The terminal inserting portion and the wire connecting portion are juxtaposed such that the inserting direction of the partner terminal to be inserted into the terminal inserting portion and the axial center direction of the end of the coated wire to be connected to the wire connecting portion is parallel with or substantially parallel with each other, and are intercoupled via the coupling portion so as to overlap with each other in a direction perpendicular to or substantially perpendicular to both of the inserting direction of the partner terminal and the axial center direction of the end of the coated wire.
